Something's Missing

So...

[Nick]

So...

[Diane]

So you'll call?

[Nick]

As soon as I get back.

[Nick and Diane]

And then he left.

And then I was alone.

[Janice]

Back to the way that things were

[Oz]

Back to the simple and plain

[Dwight]

For five days the weather had been so nice

[Bonnie]

But as they boarded, it started to rain.

At the end of the day,

[Beulah]

After everyone left

We all tried to go back to normal, except

[Oz]

The town was more quiet and

[Claude]

Somehow far emptier

We all looked the same,

[Bonnie]

But we're different than we were

The gym was a sight

[Beulah]

As I staked the last cot

Thank-you's written everywhere

[Dwight]

And things they forgot

The board of health says

[Claude]

Clean it up - every part

So we start.

7:42 a.m.

[Claude]

Sunday.

September 16th.

[Claude]

After five days, they just ran

the zamboni over the ice.

And played hockey.

With the Plane People gone,

Gander Town Council declares the

state of emergency over and I head home.

We were all exhausted - just spent

Most of us had been up for

five days straight working.

But somehow I can't sleep,

so I sit down and turn on the television.

And I just start crying.

I hadn't let myself cry the whole time.

Something's gone.

Out the airplane window, I can see Manhattan.

[Bob]

And there's still smoke.

And suddenly I'm afraid all over again.

And there are others afraid too.

Something's over.

I know Newark airport.

[Bob]

You could pull a truck over on the side

of the turnpike

And shoot a grenade launcher

at a plane coming in.

Something's done.

But nothing happens.

[Bob]

I drive Kevin back to his place.

[Kevin T]

We don't say much.

Something's missing.

I go straight to his firehouse.

[Hannah]

Part of me wondered if they

just weren't telling me.

But...they still don't know.

Something's changed.

My flat is the same as I left it.

[Nick]

But emptier.

Quieter.

I start to unpack,

And I find the camera.

Something's rearranged.

On the way to my restaurant,

I drop my daughter at school

But she won't go in.

She says she's scared.

What do I tell her?

Something's strained.

Back at my dad's house,

[Bob]

I look out the window

At this view I've looked at my whole life.

And now a part of it

Something's missing.

Something's missing.

Kevin breaks up with me.

[Kevin T]

And then he quits and moves back home to New York.

And I miss him.

I miss his jokes.

Something's lost.

Nick and I call each other when we can.

[Diane]

But...it's awful.

The only reason we met was because

this terrible thing happened.

Something's cost.

I go down to Ground Zero

[Bob]

Which is like the end of the world.

It's literally still burning.

Something's not.

My dad asks,

[Bob]

"Were you okay where you were stranded?"

How do I tell him that I wasn't just okay

I was so much better.

Something's missing.

I phone American and say

[Beverley]

"I'm ready to go wherever you want to send me."

But they say take a few days off.

I phone every day and I am back at the airport on Thursday.

And it's empty. Silent.

It's just - a different place.

And I stop what few passengers there are and I say,

"Thank you for still flying."

Hello.

[Beulah]

You've reached Gander Academy,

This is Beulah Davis.

How can I help you?

...He's gone.

[Hannah]

It's over.

...Oh, no. I'm so sorry, Hannah.

[Beulah]

I'm so sorry.

You are here

[Hannah]

At the end of a moment

At the end of the world

You are here

On the edge of the ocean

Where the story ends.

Where the river meets the sea.

[Beulah]

Here

[Hannah]

Something's gone.

Something's over.

At the office.

[Kevin T]

In an airport.

[Beverley]

In my house.

[Diane]

On an island.

[Bob]

Something's rearranged.

In a classroom.

[Beulah]

At the station.

[Janice]

In my car.

[Oz]

And wherever you are

(Something's gone)

You are here.
